Dear S-G Community,

In light of the ongoing challenges posed by declining enrollment and fiscal constraints, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment where rethinking our educational institutions is not just a choice but a necessity. As we explore a new school arrangement—whether it be through repurposing, closure, or a solution the majority of us can agree on—our aim is to ensure that we continue to provide quality education to all students while adapting to these realities.

The district understands that change can be difficult, but it is with careful consideration and a commitment to our students’ futures that we embark on this journey. This initiative is about exploring innovative solutions and creating a sustainable framework for our schools.

We invite you to join us in this important endeavor. Your insights and participation are invaluable as we navigate these decisions together. Let us come together to learn, discuss, and shape the future of our educational community. 

If you are interested in being involved, please sign up using the following Google Form link by Monday, Sept. 15. This initial callout aims to gather a core group of our community who are interested in setting up the structure and future committees. However, please note that there will be additional opportunities to participate after Sept. 15 for those who wish to contribute in different capacities as we move forward.

If you sign up, your first meeting will be on Wednesday, Sept. 17 at 6 p.m. in the Middle School Library. By Wednesday, Sept. 24, you’ll be assigned to a subcommittee by email. Then, on Wednesday, Oct. 8, all subcommittees will meet together at 6 p.m. in the Middle School Library before moving to their designated areas within the school.

We are ready to start this journey with you and look forward to hearing the ideas and solutions that will come from our teamwork! Thank you for your continued support and dedication.

Warm regards,
Susan M. Swartz
Scotia-Glenville Central School District
